• Abstract:
  The study represents the first systematic attempt to estimate the potential impacts of a wide range of IP options in different settings. The output of this study should provide local decision-makers with a better understanding of the varied impacts an IP system might have. In addition, the study has attempted to identify potentially promising IP options and policies (as well as those options which show little promise), which may lead to the next round of paratransit demonstrations. Finally, the study has identified those instances where IP is, and those where it is not, the most appropriate way to improve public transportation services in a given area.
